Do wooden arms warp
they definitely age and even warp despite of implementation quality. 40...50 years vintage wood arms by no means can match the quality of ones made of metal or aluminium back then. there's also nothing wrong using or not using tubes which is only... 
Joe Cocker...R.I.P.
2014 is the largest year for fallen artists i've ever lived through.I hope that 2015 will be the one with rising ones. 
Buzz coming from power amp - not through speakers

Do you always keep the Amplifier powered on
I have 4 2 from each wife-). I have a similar to Kijanki situation with only 20...30w of idle power for preamp/preamp/PC. No biggie to keep it on while home, but would completely unplug from the wall together with power conditioner the whole rig. ...
